Jarabulus, a.s.syria.This small city who once was simple, yet very beautiful and calm, has turned to a sh.e.l.l of itself after war. Dust replaced green, tents replaced buildings, continuous problems in finding water and electricity.
This was the life of the few people left living in their mother lands, one of them was Ayla!
Although living in such poor conditions, it was a blessing in disguise that granted them a life very human, everyone knew one another, everyone would help the other by whatever means necessary.
Having Ayla living within them was G.o.d"s biggest gift.
Medical care is at its lowest, only two or three doctors would come rarely to check on the citizens, just as a charity act. It wasn"t enough, therefore many were taken away by diseases and sickness.
Ayla realizing her ability to help cure these cases, or atleast improving their state, has decided to use her powers on a higher scale.
As Ayla was walking in the streets, she was greeted.
"Miss Ayla, i hope you"re having a good day." said a young woman holding her child.
Ayla, with a sweet smily face. "Miss Lilas! How are you doing?
Oh! You gave birth in the time i was away."
Lilas. "Hahahah yes honey, time surely flies."
Ayla. "Congratulations sweetheart, can i hold it for a little."
Lilas hands her the child, "For sure, you"re his aunt!"
As Ayla held it, she took a closer look...and felt that he"s not in a good state!
"...He"s awkwardly silent, and feels hotter than he should."
Lilas" smily face disappeared, and a sad one took its place.
"...Yes that is what i noticed, I fear that he"s fallen sick and as you know we don"t have the necessary means to treat him!"
Ayla. "Don"t worry, follow me to the house."
As they arrived, Ayla lays down the baby on his back and brings a bowl of hot water. with some natural plants.
"From where you got those?" She asked.
Ayla. "During the time I was away, i was actually studying natural medicine."
Lilas was surprised. "Is that so??
Oh my dear, this will be very useful to our people."
"I hope so." Replied Ayla with a smile.
Then, she proceeded to mix the plants in hot water, took a piece of cloth and soaked it in and put it on his forehead.
But in fact, each time she would put it in his forehead she was using her powers secretly!
She can not use them at once because the lights will appear and Lilas will find it suspicious. She has to make it seem as if she"s naturally healing him.
The piece of cloth was large so that it can cover and hide the light.
15minutes later, the baby was put into deep sleep.
Ayla. "You can take him now Lilas, if his state didn"t get better bring him to me again."
Lilas. "Thank you so much honey, I wish to return the favor again."
Ayla. "This is nothing..."
During the next day, Lilas brought the baby again!
Not that his state didn"t improve, it was the opposite. He looked so healthy and energitic that Lilas was overjoyed!
"Look!! This is incredible Ayla.
You"re really good."
Ayla laughs. "Hhahahahaha but do not forget to thank G.o.d who puts cure into the hands of men."
Lilas. "You"re right, Thank G.o.d for everything we have.
We"ve all seen how fast it can be taken away by the evil..."
The news spread between the citizens, that Ayla went abroad to study natural medicine and that she"s very good at it.
Now, without realizing it instantly. She"s their healer!
In each case, she would treat it differently according to the kind of problem.
If it was a a physical injury, she would apply her mixed natural medicament on it.
If it was an internal problem she would either inject it through their veins or by drinking/eating.
But in any case, she would secretly use her powers to treat it.
However, to not make it seem like something miraculous, she"s having the people come and get treated step by step.
"You"re truly a gift from G.o.d!" said whomever was treated by her.
It seems in the two weeks and half that has pa.s.sed since everybody"s comeback.
Ayla was having the best kind of life so far.
But is it going to continue being this way??

*18th of July, 2023
11am, Whitehome.*
"So, this one in the south west of the city is the focal point that is controlling all the other occults!"
"Yes indeed! The one we fought the last time was only a place where the bosses meet up in."
"I see... Guiado has also provided me with these notes!
Take a look."
"Hmmmm....Even the names of the bosses are in here!"
"Yes, Guiado surely knows very much for someone who doesn"t do anything about it right?"
"How do you know he doesn"t do anything about it?
Also...I don"t see her face! the old witch we encountered that time!"
"That is because, Guiado killed her!"
In his room, Herald and Ether were looking at what looks like a weird map of the city.
It was a map of the occults locations in the city! Given by Guiado himself just yesterday...
Ether. "He killed her?
I see...So the presence i felt that time was his!"
Herald. "Yes, after they"ve escaped that time Guiado was there waiting for them to get out.

I don"t know how he did it, but he said he killed two of them.
Another two escaped with the two children as well, he also warned me about them."
Ether. "I see, so what is going to be our next target?"
Herald. "What do you suggest?"
Ether. "I think it"s still early to attack the central occult, we have to weaken them one by one.
How about this one?"
Herald looks closely towards where Ether is pointing on the map.
"Hmmmm....Wait a moment, I know this building!
This is where the big cinema is at!!"
Ether. "Places like those can be good for practicing sigil and witchcraft, a lot of demons reside in there."
Herald. "Hmmm...One wouldn"t find them suspicious. But how abou....
SUDDENLY!!!
The door was opened!!
Herald"s tongue was paralyzed, as he stared at the one who opened it.
It was....MURUEM!!
At first he looked at her eyes, and he didn"t know what to comprehend from them.
For the first time in so long, her eyes do not tell her story.
She just opened the door and looked emotionlessly!!
"...Who are you talking to?"She asked.
Herald, "Euh...M..Muruem! I thought you went to..."
Muruem. "I DID NOT ASK YOU WHERE YOU THOUGHT I WAS!
WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO????"
"I don"t remember the last time she ever yelled at me like this..." Herald"s mind was blocked.
Until Ether whispered to him.
"Tell her it"s just a play you"re writing."
Herald. "Oh...I...I was just..replying the lines of the act i am writing...
Here, take a look!"
He hands her over the notes Guiado has given him.
Luckily for him, she didn"t take them from his hands, cause she was also surprised that no one was there in the room.
She cannot see Ether!
Muruem, being so confused about her feelings. Closed the door and went on crying outside!
Herald"s heart was beating like a hammer cause he had also forgotten that she cannot see Ether.
He thought for a moment that he"ll have to explain everything to her.
Beside that she took him by surprise, as he thought she went out for work.
"Ether, i think we"ll have to talk about this later on."
"Yes i understand", Ether replied.
Herald opens the door and gets out.
"Muruem!!!
What"s wrong honey??"
He found her laying on the couch crying...
"I knew it... I knew this will inevitably start." He said in his mind as he approached her...
